Superior Essex 77-240-5B CAT6 Plenum 23AWG 4-pair 1000ft

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 77-240-5B is a CAT6 plenum-rated copper data cable designed for structured wiring installations in air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings. Constructed with 23 AWG conductors arranged in 4 pairs, this cable meets the low-smoke, low-flame requirements mandated for plenum environments under NFPA 90A. It ships in a 1,000-foot pull box with a green jacket for easy identification in multi-cable runs. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians install this cable in commercial and institutional network infrastructures where building codes require plenum-rated media.

This cable is suited for horizontal runs in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and other commercial structures where cable must pass through or alongside air-circulation spaces. The 1,000-foot green pop box format supports clean, tangle-free pulls during new construction and retrofit projects. It supports standard EIA/TIA 568 termination at patch panels and keystone jacks, making it compatible with standard CAT6 channel installations targeting 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet performance.

Key Features

• Plenum-rated jacket meets NFPA 90A low-smoke, low-flame requirements for air-handling spaces
• 23 AWG solid copper conductors in a 4-pair configuration
• Green jacket aids cable identification in multi-run installations
• 1,000-foot pull box format reduces cable tangling during installation
• CAT6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and standard structured cabling channels

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated CAT6 horizontal cable for use with standard EIA/TIA 568-compliant CAT6 patch panels, keystone jacks, and structured cabling systems in commercial and institutional environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician in accordance with NEC Article 800 and local building codes governing plenum-rated communications cable. Verify the cable pathway is rated for CMP (plenum) cable before pulling. Avoid sharp bends beyond the minimum bend radius and do not exceed the cable pull tension rating to prevent damage to pair geometry and signal performance. Terminate both ends using CAT6-rated punch-down or keystone termination tools to maintain category performance.
